Here's the story for those who don't like playing videos or have slow internet speed:

Quote:

The victim of a brutal sexual assault confronted her attacker in court and told him: 'I am not the victim, I'm the victor'.

Heidi Damon waived her right to anonymity to be allowed to be filmed in court unleashing her anger as her attacker Javon Cooper was jailed for 15 years after attempting to kill and rape her.

The 40 year old told the teen:'I just want to tell you — and I want you to look at me when I address you — I woke up ecstatic today, happier than ever.

'You know why? Because I'm alive. I'm alive, alive, alive.

'You have not broken my spirit. You have not changed my belief in God. If anything, you've strengthened both. I am not a victim. I am the victor, the stronger and the winner,' Ms Damon said difiantly in court.

As Ms Damon spoke, 18 year old Cooper shifted uncomfortably and tried to avert his gaze from his victim.

Truly sickening and this happens on a daily f* basis, and the world is a better place without scum like him but kudos to her for standing up and letting him know he had not broken her and that SHE is the victor...hel, the same thing is going to happen to him in prison I hope.

Well let's hope he is sent to Raford they still dont like sexual predators there....I know a guard that worked there...he said they still view rapists and the like as scum and deal with them when they can.
On a side note as the other posted stated....Ybor city is a **** hole and anyone who goes there knows what a dump it is. Even people who have never been there...the rep of that place is well known.
